Killing Joke Joker Kotobukiya statue review

[Michael Crawford]

Throwing up a quicky today, but it's a goodie too. The second release of the Kotobukiya Killing Joke Joker statue is set to ship, and I'm checking it out tonight right here:

The base is terrible.

Nice review! If they ever do this in 1/4 polystone, with a proper base, it would be a freaking killer piece IMO...

Would like to see this next to the DC Designer Series The Dark Knight statue.

That statue and this one are in the same scale so they should match up rather well.

I went w/ the DC Designer Series statue...glad I did. It's the superior piece.

Do you have a pic of it next to the DC Designer Series Dark Knight? If you do, can you share it.

I agree that the base on this is awful, just looks so odd the way his foot rests on the hood.

I have the original version of this as well as the new designer series version and the designer series Batman.

I keep the Batman and the Koto version together and have the Designer Joker off on another shelf. The designer Joker imo is just way too tall next to the Batman.

Will take pics when I get home.

Nice review, Michael. I still prefer the first release over-all. Just not digging the new base.

If I were to get a TKJ Joker statue I'd go with Karnis and get the DCC Designer Series version. I think it would complement the Adam Kubert Batman more as well as the other releases from the same line given the uniform circular base, and must be more in-scale with Batman (also, I prefer the material DCC uses). Kotobukiya's is not a true 1/6 since they counted the average 12"=1/6 with the base. Koto Joker looks a tad small there in Michael's photo with HT Adam West Batman.

Here you go:


Joker stands taller as Batman has one foot off the base, otherwise they'd be pretty close. DKR Bats is a little shorter by character design I imagine.

Thank you for that pic!

Wow ... I'm not liking the height discrepancy. True ... they might be the same height if Bats didn't step of the base, but that's not something I want to keep telling myself. It's a great piece nonetheless.

Not a fan of the DC Designer. Looks plain..no other props to make it alive.

Anybody has a similar pic but with the Koto Killing Joke Joker and the DC Designer Series Dark Knight.

Thanks for doing that Michael! I always appreciate your reviews. They seem balanced and give good tips on what to watch for.

Anybody has a similar pic but with the Koto Killing Joke Joker and the DC Designer Series Dark Knight.

The Koto is listed at 11" so it might be a better fit for you....

Yea, I was thinking the same thing. Just wanted to see a pic first if someone had a pic.

I just cancelled my DC Designer Series Joker. I might just order this one instead.

That's one thick Batman. A real world dude like that would weight like 400lbs.
